The 74S140 (dual 4-input NAND) is the classic TI TTL 50-ohm driver. They're still available in DIP & SOIC.
I'm currently waiting on some boards to arrive so I can try SN74LVC1G17 as a more modern replacement that's much cheaper and smaller. Once I've proven it I'll do a separate thread to the list about the whole project, since it's on-topic. On 18/3/19 1:27 pm, Bob kb8tq wrote: > Hi > > CMOS is good. The faster the better.
